  Freedom From The Known

  Born in poverty in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) became a leading spiritual and philosophical thinker whose ideas continue to influence us today. George Bernard Shaw declared that he was the most beautiful human being he had ever seen and Aldous Huxley was one of his close friends. Whether debating politics with Nehru, discussing theories with Rupert Sheldrake and Iris Murdoch, or challenging his students not to take his words at face value, Krishnamurti engaged fully with every aspect of life. He is regarded by many modern religious figures as a great teacher, an extraordinary individual with revolutionary insights; Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra are all indebted to his writings.
   
  Freedom from the Known is one of Krishnamurti's most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book's message.

  Dive into the heart of Rome's most defining era in "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" a compelling compilation that brings together two insightful books into one monumental volume. This masterfully crafted narrative by Clifford Alexander takes you on a journey through one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in Roman history, an era that witnessed the drastic shift from the Roman Republic to the might of the Roman Empire. 
  In the first part of this comprehensive work, explore the intricate dynamics of the First Triumvirate. Witness the political genius of Julius Caesar, the wealth and ambition of Marcus Licinius Crassus, and the military prowess of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus as they join forces, only to find their alliance plagued by greed and betrayal. This segment brilliantly captures the end of the Roman Republic, marked by internal strife, power struggles, and the eventual descent into civil war. 
  Transition into the second part, where the aftermath of Caesar's assassination sets the stage for the Second Triumvirate. Here, the narrative delves into the alliance of Gaius Octavius (Augustus), Marc Antony, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. This section vividly portrays their initial unity against Caesar's assassins, the subsequent division of the Roman world, and the eventual rise of Augustus as the unchallenged ruler of the Roman Empire. 
  "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" not only offers a detailed account of political maneuvers, battles, and the personalities that shaped an empire but also provides a deep understanding of the socio-political structures of ancient Rome. It's a compelling read for history enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone fascinated by the intrigues of one of history's most influential civilizations.

  Mohammad Fazeli has summarized the book *"Violence and Social Orders"* in five parts.    This book, one of the final works by Douglass North, was written after his 90th birthday in collaboration with Barry Weingast, a political science professor at Stanford University, and John Wallis, an economic historian. It offers a unique perspective on the history of development.    The book examines the theory of violence and social orders in several developing countries. While it provides a historical interpretation of the transformations in European societies, the authors use this historical understanding to critique conventional development policies. In the final chapter, they discuss the theoretical implications of this alternative view of history.    The book introduces distinct theoretical hypotheses, making it highly engaging for those interested in political and economic development.    This work challenges many of the conventional teachings on political and economic development in Iran.
